Spring is Here- Is Your Vehicle Ready?

Did you know that the changing seasons mean different things for your vehicle?



Remember … the interior and exterior of your car are BOTH exposed to different elements during different seasons.

Here are some spring car cleaning tips can help you protect yourself and your investment.

The interior

Prepare the interior surfaces and upholstery of your car for more sun exposure. If you have leather seats, use a good leather protector to avoid any cracking and if you have cloth interiors invest in a product that will help avoid fading from sun exposure.


The exterior

The exterior of your car is exposed to different elements during different seasons. Make sure to rid your car’s exterior of any residue left over from the winter months and pay close attention to your tires, which can also suffer from buildup during the snowy season.


Remember that spring is allergy season. This means that your car will probably be covered in pollen at some point. Pollen build up on your car can not only worsen your allergy symptoms, but impair your vision on the road, so be sure to keep your car washed.


Give your car a thorough inspection

Taking a good look at the underside of your car and inspecting it for any rust or other corrosion. Pay close attention to your fluid levels. Change or refill your oil, wiper fluid, coolant and other lubricants to make sure your car is ready for the warmer months. If you aren’t comfortable evaluating the condition of your car yourself, take it in to a mechanic that you trust.
